With content playing a bigger function in the core of an successful online promotion, social, and search engine optimization strategies, it really is far more important than ever that your content is as versatile as possible. The best method to determine how versatile your content could be is to look at how shareable it is. For example, your PPC ads can be powerful, but they definitely aren’t versatile. Your customers won’t share your ads, but they may share your landing page or your blog. This means that in the long run, your actual content will be much more versatile and can provide a greater benefit. Here is a closer look at how you can create super-shareable content with little additional effort.

Why is Content Material Shared?

The first thing which you should ask yourself before creating content is whether or not it really can be shared. More importantly, will other people wish to share it. If you are the only person that is sharing your content, then it probably won’t reach many more new people than a traditional PPC ad would. Most people break down shareable content into 6 groups or subjects. If your content falls into one of these groups, then it is considered to be shareable. The reasons that people share content is because it is – useful, interesting, unique, inspirational, entertaining, or surprising.

The problem is that most content could be placed in one of these categories. Just because your content is shareable,does not really mean that it will be. So to make ceertain that you creating super-shareable content, it is important to ensure that each piece of your content falls into 3 or 4 of these categories simultaneously. The reason for this is twofold. First, when content falls into multiple categories, it will likely be seen as higher quality which grants it a higher level of credibility. Second, it will help your content appeal to a larger variety of audiences. Some people only want to be inspired or informed, while others want to see something interesting or entertaining. If your content is both informational and entertaining, then you are appealing to both of these types of people.

How to You Can Make Your Content Is Super-Shareable

So the bigger question is how to create content that appeals to a wider audience. The easiest way to do this is basically incorporating multiple types of media. Video is inherently more entertaining than text. Audio can be a lot more compelling than an image. Some people like to watch, while others like to read. Even if all of the different types of media are saying the same thing, it will allow you to appeal to a wider variety of people.

Give Your Content a Nudge

Another crucial step to take along with creating super-shareable content is to make the process of sharing as simple as possible. Most blogs will do this by adding buttons or widgets that allow visitors to share the content immediately. You need to make sure that no matter where you content is, people can share it with very little effort. The harder you make it to share your content, the less likely it will ever be shared.

Once you have a better understanding of how to create super-shareable content, you may end up finding that you need to create less content on the whole. This is because the more shareable your content is, the more versatile it will be. This will ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit from each word that you write and video that you create.
